Humorous take on English history, parodying traditional school textbooks with its famous line that history is “what you can remember.” First published in 1930, the book became a classic of British satire, condensing key events and monarchs into witty, memorable summaries. Illustrated by John Reynolds. Twentieth edition, July 1935. Published by Methuen & Co. Ltd, London.
